Streets in Visitacion Valley that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. We see it on Visitacion Valley roofs every week. Where Visitacion Valley buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next work is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. Garage and patio roofs in Visitacion Valley are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system.
As a rule, policies covering Visitacion Valley properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. This holds across San Francisco County. Supplements are normal on Visitacion Valley claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Photographs taken before any tarping on a Visitacion Valley property are the nearly all valuable evidence in the whole claim.
